Abstract
Aim. To assess the prospects for introducing visual screening for cervical cancer in the healthcare system of the Republic of Tajikistan.
Material and methods. This study is based on an assessment of the quality of preventive services based on the results of an organized visual screening pilot study of cervical cancer in two districts of the Republic of Tajikistan.
Results and discussion. Pilot implementation of organized visual screening has shown high efficiency, availability and financial sustainability. Taking into account the experience gained, based on the successes achieved, the health care system of Tajikistan has demonstrated its readiness to introduce a visual screening of cervical cancer at the national level, and the need for the introduction of vaccination against papillomavirus infection has been identified.
Conclusion. The health system of Tajikistan is making every effort and allocating the necessary resources to build capacity for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of precancerous diseases to prevent and reduce mortality from cervical cancer.
